determination: firmness of purpose according to the oxford dictionary...can also be defined as "something i do not have"
its something i got a lesson in yesterday...courtesy of one arvin tang hong wei...
that boy is a miracle. with a malfunctioning heel, a rickety knee, a running style that has him landing on the outside of his foot with every stride, other personal problems, every tutor coming down on him, he still managed to win every single race he was in(i think). 100m, 4x400 and dunno what else.he's like a roadrunner. his recovery rate after a sprint to start a new race is mind-blowing.dunno how he just keeps going and going and going at that blistering pace. the fact that he had injuries should have kept him out of sports day but i think he knows how hard beta will find it to win anything with him gone, so he put it all out of his mind and ran and won. and he told me he was totally not ok and his foot was strapped up after that, but he still did it.
so i'm asking myself, if a guy like arvin can overcome all that and still win, why cant i, an able minded person, with academic potential, do better in my studies? just no determination. well that's gonna change. 4 months down, 6 to go. its time to start...no more excuses i think. and for the first time, i think i can really pass maths this time.
another thing i saw today was the new coldplay video(the hardest part). now coldplay videos are always interesting but this one in particular is about an 85 yr old woman and 29 year old man doing acrobatics together. if i had done some of the things the woman did i would have broken my spine, hip, you name it. which brings me to think, how did i lose the toned body that i had in sec1 and become such a blimp. so after may 13th...every other day i'm going running. and maybe in june i'll go back to amore. i'm not going to uni in this physical state...yuck. |
